MSDOS::Attrib version 1.04, released May 3, 2008
DESCRIPTION
MSDOS::Attrib allows you to get or set file attributes under
OS/2 or Windows 95/NT. These are the standard file attributes
(read-only, hidden, system, archive, and directory). If you
want to access OS/2 extended attributes, use the OS2::ExtAttr
module. If you want to access Windows NT security attributes,
try the Win32::FileSecurity module.
MSDOS::Attrib was previously known as OS2::Attrib. I renamed
it because it now works on Win32 systems as well as OS/2. To
upgrade, simply replace "OS2::Attrib" with "MSDOS::Attrib" in
any programs that use it.
INSTALLATION
To install this module, run the following commands:
perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install
You must be able to compile extensions.
I have tested MSDOS::Attrib with Perl 5.8.8 under Windows 2000
with Visual C++ 6 and the README.win32 instructions. Previous
versions have been tested with Perl 5.004_01, under OS/2
with EMX 0.9c and gcc 2.7.2.1, and under Windows NT with
Visual C++ 5.0 and the README.win32 instructions. If you find
that a different compiler does/doesn't work, please let me know.
DEPENDENCIES
None.
